tRPC API Boilerplate

Minimal tRPC API boilerplate for separate BE-FE repositories. Easily publish fully typesafe APIs that any frontend can consume.

Monorepos are great, but sometimes we are targeting backend and frontend as separate (mono)repositories:

• separation/encapsulation of backend and frontend domain (except what must be exposed to both through API).
• separation of backend and frontend developers (larger teams/companies).
• separation of backend and frontend CI/CD pipelines, PRs, issues, etc.

... in that case checkout this boilerplate.

Running

Easily set up a local development environment

• fork & clone repo
• npm install
• make changes to tRPC API & push - new package is released 📦
• npm install trpc-api-boilerplate in any frontend app 🚀

Example Repo

Example frontend app repository - tRPC Frontend Boilerplate

Avoid publishing package?

If for whatever reason publishing a package is not an option:

• privacy concerns
• faster development iterations - skip CI
• ...

Use:

• npm link
• run npm run trpc-api-export and push code changes. In your frontend app run npm run trpc-api-import.
